TRI-S TANKER

The SA-R range of vacuum tankers are premium single axle recessed slurry tankers for farmers and contractors alike. The capacities of the SA-R range from 1350 to 3000 gallons (6,137 to 13,784 litres). Sizes from 1350 upwards to 2600 come standard on a stepped axle to dramatically lower the overall height of the tanker. HiSpec also use Alliance tyres as standard on these sizes. Alliance tyres are seen as a premium quality radial tyre for heavy-duty field and hauling jobs.

The SA-R tanker range is designed to meets the needs of every farmer and most contractors. Additional features include a swivel hitch, complete with a sprung drawbar for maximum operator comfort. The barrel of the SA-R tankers is recessed to include large radial tyres which provide low rolling resistance, and a greater footprint to reduce soil damage.

All of the SA-R range is manufactured using 6mm high quality British steel. Collared dished ends are inserted into the barrel, along with the addition of internal baffle plates and anti-implosion rings to give a strong finish.

Unique to HiSpec is the double folded chassis that supports each SA-R tanker in four key areas underneath the barrel. This means that the entire underside of the barrel is fully supported across both the entire width and the length of the tank. This reduces stress on the barrel and helps to minimise weak points.

Stepped Axle

SA-R models from 1350 to 2600 gallons come standard on a stepped high speed commercial axle. This results in the rear of the tanker being lower to the ground than competitor’s models, leading to increased stability and safety on the road or on sloped grounds. The stepped axle is fitted with 420×180 hydraulic brakes as standard to increase stopping power. Air brakes can also be specified to further improve braking efficiency. HiSpec use Alliance or Trelleborg wheels as standard on our SA-R range to further improve stability.

Jurop Pump

A Jurop vacuum pump is fitted as standard across the SA-R tanker range. Jurop is a high quality pump designed and manufactured in a state of the art factory in Italy. Jurop pumps are recognised as the fastest and most powerful vacuum pumps available today. Each pump is assembled according to Jurop’s methodical standards and is carefully tested and checked. PTO driven as standard, Jurop pumps provide the most efficient method of filling or emptying your slurry tank.

Jurop pumps have a worldwide reputation for quality and minimal maintenance. Parts and service are available locally from your nearest HiSpec dealer, and the premium build of Jurop pumps ensures an extremely long working life. Additional pump improvement options can be viewed on our Options page.

Tyres

SA-R models from 1350 to 2300 gallons are fitted standard on 750/70 R26 Alliance tyres (28.1). The unique shoulder design ensures excellent grip and high traction efficiency. The large footprint area reduces ground pressure, minimising compaction and increasing flotation. The 2600 SA-R is fitted on 800/65 R32 Alliance tyres (30.5) (181 A8). These 30.5 tyres are upgraded to 181 A8 rating for use with increased speed or with the addition of a slurry applicator on the rear of the tanker. Strong radial construction with reinforced beads and sidewalls provide long tyre life. The 3000 SA-R is fitted with a straight axle and 750/60 R30.5 Trelleborg tyres (181 D).

INLET CHOPPER

VOGELSANG ROTACUT 5000

chop while filling…..

The Vogelsang Rotacut works when placed on the suction side of a pump. The Rotacut effectively reduces floating solids in the liquid stream. Heavy solids are captured in the collection basin and eliminated entirely from the tanker. The Rotacut requires one double acting valve to operate. The Rotacut requires direct contact between the blades and the cutting screen. This is how it achieves the scissor-like cut. The blades are designed to wear over time but must wear evenly to achieve maximum lifecycle between replacements.

Auto Reverse

Auto-Reverse is how the Rotacut handles large objects by reversing the rotation of the blades until the object is cleared, reduced and passed through the screen. Auto-Reverse engages at preset intervals which keeps the blades wearing evenly. The trailing edge of the blade is sharpened as a natural effect of the cutting process. When the rotation is reversed a fresh straight edge enhances the cutting quality of the blades.

Coverage, point, line, and area mapping.
Manual guidance for a number of field patterns.
Hands free guidance be adding EZ Steer assisted steering system.
Data transfer between the field to the office with a USB drive.

AUTOFILL

No waiting around…..keep on the move. You the operator are in complete control, all from the comfort of your cab. Our hydraulically operated autofill maximizes productivity and operator comfort whilst also reducing work time.

Available in either 6 or 8”, the autofill requires only one double acting valve for use. The autofill is side mounted as standard, with an option for centre mounted to fill from both sides.

TURBOFILL

Experience the ultimate in filling speed with a turbofill. A hydraulically driven turbofill enables higher capacities at a faster rate without overloading the pump. This will reduce the filling time as the slurry is essentially forced into the tank via the turbofill.

The turbofill is particularly suited to larger capacity tankers where the benefit of filling will be seen in shorter times. It can also help where the level of the pit has dropped and the vacuum pump is pulling slurry from greater depths.

AXLES & BRAKES

TANDEM AXLES

HiSpec use bogie type axles on tandem tankers up to 4000 gallons. The design of the bogie allows for greater movement of the axle and allows improved balance over uneven ground contours. The bogie is free to rotate around a central axis and this design is particularly suited to intensive use on uneven ground. To reduce maintenance on moving axle parts, central greasing can be specified for those hard to reach greasing points.
OPTIONS – AXLESCentral greasing

BRAKING SYSTEMS

All HiSpec tankers are fitted with hydraulic braking as standard. All ranges except for the smaller SA-S tankers are supplied with commercial running gear and a minimum of 420×180 brake shoes as standard. For increased braking power, air over hydraulic braking can be specified. This combination of both air and hydraulic braking allows the tanker to be used with any tractor.

PAINT

HiSpec tanks are supremely welded to give the strongest and best built tank on the market. In keeping with this professional finish, all HiSpec tanks are shot-blasted prior to painting in a strong durable red paint to provide the perfect finish.

It is also possible to customise your tanker to your fleet of tractors with a wide range of colours available.

OPTIONS – PAINTAlternative tank colour

STONETRAP

REAR STONETRAP

All HiSpec tankers can be fitted with a rear stonetrap for the collection of stones or foreign objects within the tanker. The tanker is designed to slope towards the rear as standard. This allows stone to find their way towards the trap where they can be easily removed. This feature is extremely useful where low emission spreaders are also fitted on the tanker, as it will reduce the likelihood of stones entering the applicator.

FRONT STONETRAP

For tankers that require complete emptying through a centrifugal pump then a front stonetrap is an option to slope the tanker towards the front. The front stonetrap is situated directly behind the centrifugal pump and can be easily accessed for cleaning.

STORAGE

5 LITRE OIL DRUM HOLDERKeep pump oil on the tanker at all times with a 5 litre drum holder. The drum holder is galvanised for long life.

STORAGE BOX

The storage box is ideal for carrying items on the tanker. The storage box has no lid. It has a perforated bottom to allow water and dirt to fall through. The storage box is approximately 1m in width so larger items are easily carried.

TOOL BOX

The tool box is complete with a lockable hinged lid. The lid helps to keep the contents of the toolbox clean. The lid can also be locked for secure storage of tools. The tool box is also galvanised as standard for additional protection.

Centrifugal Options

JUROP JULIA

Centrifugal pumps use a shaft driven impeller rotating inside a casing to propel liquid slurry. The speed of the impeller allows the slurry to exit the pump at a much greater velocity. These types of pumps can also be used for piping systems due to the high flow rates that can be achieved. A pump change-over allow either the vacuum or centrifugal pump to be used.

The Jurop Julia pump is a combination of two pumps:

HiSpec use Jurop Julia Centrifugal pumps as standard for the disposal of slurry under wet conditions. Standard with a rain-gun, it is also possible to feed a rear spreading implement or and umbilical system via the centrifugal system. A hydraulically operated rain-gun can jet slurry through 360° and up to a distance of 45m as standard. A rear stonetrap and wide angle PTO are provided as standard for additional pump protection. Centrifugal systems are ideal for slurry spreading in wet weather or over unfavorable ground conditions.

BATTIONI PAGANI GARDA EVO

A Battioni Pagani GARDA EVO system can also be fitted in lieu of Julia. An 11000 Battioni pump complete with a DODA L35 ensures that you have the perfect combination for splash-plate and umbilical work. This dual pump gives the high performance of an 11000 litre vacuum pump for fast and efficient tanker filling, combing with the benefits of a well proven DODA L35 high pressure slurry pump to allow operation of umbilical systems direct from the feed tanker.

The GARDA EVO dual pump runs with 1000rpm input speed. The compact design of the pump makes it ideal for drawbar mounting on slurry tankers, allowing the DODA pump to be run in a flooded suction capacity, helping to increase pumping efficiency.

DODA

For increased umbilical pumping distances, a DODA L35 pump can be added in combination with a hydraulic driven vacuum pump. The vacuum pump is used to fill the tanker and spread via splashplate as standard. The DODA L35 pump can be fitted with a SAFALLA arm for automatic locking to your umbilical piping.

SAFALLA ARM

A SAFALLA Arm is the most efficient method of connecting to your umbilical system. The arm is hydraulically lowered to automatically connect to a non-return pod. This non-return pod is in turn connected to the umbilical piping. The SAFALLA Arm and pod is the cleanest and quickest method for carrying out umbilical work with tankers.

HiSpec uses PERROT couplings to fit the suction hose to the quick attach. The Perrot fitting along with the U-clamp is seen as the strongest fitting; however the suction hose needs to be aligned straighter towards the fill point. Bauer fittings can be specified to cope better with imperfect alignments to the fill point. All options above are also available in 8”.

A single 6” x 15’ reinforced suction hose is supplied as standard with each HiSpec tanker. Hoses can also be supplied in 20’ lengths and with the addition of double end fittings for even longer pipework. The 6” pipework is most common due to its ease of use and relative low weight.

Pipework is also available in 8” diameter to increase flow rate, and to provide increased suction with thicker slurry. The 8” pipework will fill the tanker faster than a standard 6” however the additional weight and handling of the 8” pipe will need to be co

nsidered if moving from pit to pit.

GALVANISE OPTION

For maximum protection vacuum tankers can be hot dipped in a galvanise bath to provide an anti-corrosion coating both inside and out. The hot-dip galvanization happens at a temperature of 450°C. During this process, the steel is covered with three coatings made of a mix of steel and zinc, as well as with an outer coating of pure zinc. The quality of workmanship in HiSpec slurry tanks together with the galvanisation guarantees an efficient protection.

MANHOLES

Each HiSpec tanker is fitted with a 600mm hinged galvanised rear access manhole for cleaning out. With tankers now transporting a variety of slurry of varying viscosity, cleaning out the tanker has become a more difficult problem. To combat this, HiSpec has numerous methods to gain easier access inside your tanker.
The addition of or relocation of an access door to the side of the tanker allows the operator to enter the barrel from the side. This is particularly useful when a low emission spreader is fitted on the tanker.

900mm REAR DOOR
A larger 900mm access door
can be fitted in lieu of 600mm
to the rear of the tanker to
allow easier access inside the
barrel. This 900mm door is
hinged and opens the same
as the 600mm. It allows much
easier access for cleaning
purposes.

FULLY OPENING REAR DOOR
A fully opening rear dished end provides unrivalled
access into the tanker. The rear dished end is hinged on
large 20mm hinges and is secured using manual clamps
to the perimeter of the dish. A large rubber seal is used
between the door and the barrel to create an adequate
sealing. This rear door allows the operator to enter the
barrel safely and also allows hazardous vapours to exit
the tanker faster.

INTERNAL AGITATOR

For extremely thick or slurries where settlement can occur, the HiSpec internal agitator can ensure that the slurry is kept in constant motion. The internal agitator prevents sediment build up within the tank. The internal agitator is hydraulically operated from the cab. The internal agitator is supported the length of the tanker to ensure that the full tanker is constantly stirred during transportation.

LEVEL INDICATORS

know when you’re full….

3″ Sight glasses Sight tube Porthole Windows

3″ sight glasses are fitted as standard to all HiSpec slurry tankers. For improved indication of slurry levels, a full length sight tube or porthole windows can be fitted as an optional extra. These provide a constant indicator of slurry levels and are particularly useful when a low emission spreader is fitted on the tank.

LIGHTING

be safe, be seen…..

Travelling on the road, add additional road lighting to your tanker to be safe and be seen. HiSpec vacuum tankers are fitted with a single set of LED road-lights as standard. Additional road-lights and beacons can be fitted to increase visibility and provide warning to other road users.

Working in the evenings or late into the night, you can also add work-lights to your tank to keep the work going. Reversing or discharge cameras can be fitted for manoeuvring into those difficult places or for monitoring spreading.

LINKAGE OPTIONS

Future proof your tanker with applicator brackets. Each applicator has its own characteristics in regard to weight, width, so it is vital that the correct brackets are chosen to suit any future implement.

AGQUIP DRIBBLE BAR
The AgQuip Dribble Bar rests on the rear manhole with the addition of any A-frame carrier. The weight of the dribble bar is approximately 480kgs. There is additional reinforcement to carry the weight of the dribble bar. The dribble bar does not exert a pulling force on the ground so it does not need to be inserted into the chassis.AGQUIP TRAILING SHOE
The AgQuip Trailing Shoe is supported on a lifting mast. The lifting mast is cantilevered from the chassis of the tanker and also supported on the rear dished end. The axle of the tanker is pushed backwards approximately 200mm to take the weight of the trailing shoe. The trailing shoe weighs approximately 700kgs. There is a pulling force exerted on the ground with the use of the trailing shoe so there is a need for the additional reinforcement within the tanker chassis.

BOMECH TRAILNG SHOE
Bomech Trailing Shoes up to 8.8m are supported with the same cantilevered technique from the chassis. The trailing shoes are relatively light in weight, 680kgs. Larger Bomech trailing shoes 12m and upwards are supported on a four point linkage system due to their increased weight and supported width.

FOUR POINT LINKAGE FRAME
The addition of the four point linkage brackets allows the farmer / contractor to add any implement at a later date. The chassis is reinforced internally to take the weight of the future unit. The threaded linkage is then simply bolted on at a later date as required.

FOUR POINT LINKAGE
The four point Linkage system from HiSpec allows the farmer to carry any implement on the rear of the tanker. The linkage is particularly suited to heavy implements. The linkage allows the implement to be lifted up and down. The implement can also be removed easily from the tanker via quick attach.

PUMP IMPROVEMENTS

Vacuum tankers up to & including 2000 gallons are fitted with a Jurop 9000 litre pump as standard. 2300 gallons & above are fitted with a Jurop 11000 litre pump. Manual pump changeover is standard, along with a syphon tank for maximum pump protection. The vacuum pump creates an atmospheric pressure difference in order to fill or empty the tanker. When the vacuum is created within the tanker, the outside atmospheric pressure is responsible for pushing the slurry into the tanker. When spreading, the opposite occurs. Pressure is increased within the tank and this increase in pressure within the tank allows the slurry to be spread via splashplate or rear implement.

Options such as hydraulic changeover, exhaust can all help to improve pump performance.

Go Safer
Hydraulically driven pumps offer greater safety to the operator by eliminating a PTO. This allows for increased efficiency with constant spreading or filling through corners without any damage to the pump. The hydraulic driven pump is simple to use and requires one double acting spool and a ¾” non-restricted return.

Go Quieter
Reduce noise levels during pump operation and provide a cleaner environment around your farm. Exhaust fumes are diverted through the chassis where excess oil is collected to keep your pump and yard clean.

Go Faster
Switch between vacuum and spreading at convenience and speed. Have your tank primed for refilling before you even reach the pit with a hydraulic change-over added to your pump.

UNLOADING BOOM

Unloading Boom and Drain
The unloading boom is designed to feed an additional working tanker in the field. The boom is ideal where travel distances are increased and time savings are required. There is also the added benefit of one tanker remaining in the field at all times. This also saves slurry and mud from being carried onto the road.

The unloading boom can be rotated hydraulically through 270º from the tractor, thus making it possible to unload on both the left and right hand sides of the tanker. The boom length of 4.8m means that hedges can be easily bridged.

OPTIONS – UNLOADING BOOMUnloading boom

Manhole Top-fill and LadderA 600mm manhole can be fitted to the top of the tanker for top-filling. The manhole is opened via a hydraulic ram. The manhole opens past 90º to allow the boom to swing over the opening. The manhole top-fill comes complete with a ladder for inspection purposes.

Sliding Top-fill and Ladder
A sliding top-fill can also be fitted. The sliding top-fill has the added benefit of opening horizontally. The sliding hatch also has a larger opening for the boom to reach. For closing the hatch is sealed against a large rubber gasket. The sliding top-fill is ideal to reduce the risk of a boom coming in contact with the tanker. The sliding top-fill also comes complete with a ladder for inspection.
